Lyrics (Performance Sheet):
[Intro – Soft Guitar Picking, Sparse Notes]
[Whispered Vocal]
Mmm… I’ll be here… yeah…
[Verse 1 – Gentle Acoustic]
If I call through the dark… will you hear my voice?
Every shadow I chase… leaves me with no choice
I’ve been walking through the silence…
Praying time could be reversed
[Verse 2 – Subtle Fingerpicking]
Every word I rehearsed… still belongs to you
Every step that I take… pulls me closer too
I’ve been living in the hunger…
Of a love I can’t undo
[Pre-Chorus – Building Guitar Strum]
Tell me now… if time could bend somehow
Would I still be reaching without you now?
From wherever you drift… come back to me
[Chorus – Heavy Blues, Full Strum, Vocal Grit]
And the days, they drag on slow… ohh yeah
Every night, you’re the only ghost I know
The only chance I’ve got to hold you is a dream…
So I go to sleep… yeah, yeah…
[Verse 3 – Return to Acoustic Softness]
If I stand perfectly still… will your memory stay near?
You had to leave… and I’m condemned to remain here
But the strangest truth I find…
Though you’re far away
I still feel you close
And I can’t explain it any other way
[Bridge – Rising Guitar Build, Slow Blues Bends]
There must be a road that leads you through
A hidden door that returns me to you
I’ll be waiting, broken but true
I’ll be here… I’ll be here waiting for you.
[Bridge – New Verse 1, Blues-tinged Growl]
I see your light in the flicker of flame
I whisper your name, and it’s never the same
The night is endless, but I’ll never let it fade
I’ll keep waiting through the weight of days
[Bridge – New Verse 2, Soaring Blues Vocal]
If love is a thread, I will never let go
Through the silence, through the undertow
Even if it breaks me, even if it burns
I’ll be here, until your spirit returns
[Chorus – Heavy Blues, Emotional Shout]
And the days, they drag on slow
Every night, I’m waiting for your shadow
The only chance I’ve got to hold you is a dream…
So I go to sleep… yeah, yeahhh…
[Breakdown – Whispered Vocal, Soft Guitar Picking]
Sometimes you’re there…
Your voice cuts through the air…
Come the morning, I swear you’re next to me…
It’s okay
It’s okay
[Outro – Slow Blues Lick, Guitar Fades into Silence]
I’ll be here…
I’ll be here…
I’ll be here waiting for you
Through the night, through the years…
I’ll be here waiting for you
